4 x 60 - Curiosity Stream
In the four episodes, the series covers extraordinary engineering breakthroughs that have transformed how fast we can travel on land, in water, through the air and into space. From the 1801 invention of the world’s first self-propelled vehicle to the world’s fastest train, the experimental L-Zero in Japan capable of 374 miles per hour, on land; Polynesian catamarans and personal submarines pushing the boundaries of what’s possible at sea; the engineer whose invention enabled the Wright brothers to achieve powered flight, as well as the invention of the jet engine; and trailblazing engineers who invented the rocket and the minds now devoted to taking us into deep space; the series explores the highs and lows of what these creators faced in the quest to take us further, higher and above all, faster.
